Good morning!!!!

We have an area here in NM called "Bosque del Apache" which is a national wildlife refuge for many migratory birds. Each year there are thousands and thousands of geese, swans, and storks, that stop along there migratory route to rest and refuel. The ground is covered with birds as far as you can see. An amazing sight when hundreds start to take flight at a time. They fly around the area, breaking up into smaller groups, then leave.

We visited there a couple of years ago. Not many birds there in April. They had a good video though. Ate lunch at Buckhorn Burgers. Mmmmm good.

PJS, I call that "driving out the roaches". Much better than pesticides.

Good Morning!!!! 84F @ 8:22AM. Sunny. High near 100F. Winds SW at 5 to 10 mph.

We saw 101F yesterday with hardly any breeze at all, yet managed to stay out in the garage until 4:30 or so with just a little floor fan for cooling. Inside, the house got to 84F before I came in and turned on the A/C, much better than it would have been without the shades on the west end. Our heat wave is supposed to last through next weekend.

Hope your melanoma is a small one, Buppies.

The only cruise I was ever temped by featured snorkeling every day and the ship moved to a new location overnight. But that was before the Legionaire’s Disease breakouts, and now I’d probably give it a pass. A friend of mine and his wife just made the crossing to England on the QEII and seemed to really enjoy it though. He looked very nice in his tux, except for that Yankee Doodle bow tie:laughing:

Got the front brake caliper fitted yesterday, but it needs rebuilt with fresh o-rings and dust seals. Those are on hand, but I want to use stainless steel cap screws on reassembly, so those are on order. Today I’ll drag the engine out from under the bench and start cleaning it up. Probably a two day job...

Never thought I’d enjoy a cruise, actively resisted even. But a few years ago, wife was able to convince me to do the Panama Canal Cruise. Big boat, Holland America and I was convinced it would be just too crowded and not enjoyable. I was wrong. We went with another couple, good friends. Didn’t find it crowed at all and definitely not bored. Had a great time.
During that time period, my BIL decided to get a small group together for a Danube River Cruise. Again I was less than excited. Having lived 6 years in Germany I didn’t see a draw of cruise down the river, but I reluctantantly agreed and signed up for the next year. Again, I was wrong. The smaller ship, AMASerena was great and the river cruise was a very different perspective.
Next Jun we are taking our son and family on the 7 night Alaska cruise.

We prefer the AMA boats over their big name competitor. The crewassenger ratio is much higher.
